Is this use compatible with future development as stated in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan? Yes If yes, how? The use is limited by Special Review on land which is agricultural and sparsely populated. 4. What type of uses surround this site? Agricultural, small cemetery to the west, a residence to the south, and two residences to the east. Is this request compatible with surrounding uses? Yes 5.

This site is about a mile and a half to the northeast of the private landing strip known as Bellmore Farms. All indications are that Bellmore Farms' airstrip has been inactive for many years, but any future operations at this strip will be closely coordinated with Bellmore to avoid traffic conflicts.

Farm Airstrip (USR-1159). I hope that this will answer all of the questions posed to you by Don Carroll in his June 27, 1997 memo. The main access to the airstrip will be from the west off of Weld County Road 29 1/2 on an already existing driveway. The pro - nosed airstrip site has not had any work done to it yet. Approximately 700 feet at the south end is covered with a mixture of sveral naturally growing grasses. The approximately 1,900 feet at the north end consists of weeds that are 2-3 feet tall since this particular stretch of the field has not been cultivated since last fall. The site is almost level, except for a gradual dip about 700 feet from the south end. First of all, the weeds will be removed by using a windrower. Next, a land plane, drag, and native dirt will be used to level the low spot. The dirt will be removed from the high spot in the field directly to the west of the proposed strip. A crown will be grad- ed into the center line of the airstrip to provide natural drainage on either side. Any water crossing problems will be monitored next spring and a culvert will be installed in the future if necessary. Finally, the airstrip will be seeded with buffalo grass using ten pounds of seed per acre. The FAA recommendations will be adhered to regarding safe areas and object -free areas. There will be a 240 -ft. safe area at each end and a 120 -ft. safe area across the width of the airstrip. Also, a 125 -ft. object -free area will exist from the centerline of the runway on both sides. The power lines at the south will then be 240 feet from the south edge of the runway and will be 700 feet from the south edge of our 60 -acre parachute landing area. This poses no hazard for modern, steerable, square para- chutes and meets the 100 meter (approx. 333 feet) obstacle -free area required by the United States Parachute Association.

The attached aerial photo indicates the location where the readings were taken (points A and B). At point A (standing on runway): Ambient sound (i.e. wind, natural surroundings) . . . .65 dbls. Cessna 206 50 ft. overhead increased to 95-98 dbls. Cessna 206 at 9,000 ft. AGL no change (65.dbls.) Train going by increased to 68-74 dbls. At point B (closest house): Ambient sound (i.e. wind, natural surroundings) . . . .65 dbls. Cessna 206 flying 15 ft. over proposed runway site . no change (65 dbls.) Train going by no change (65 dbls.) Also, at a distance of 50 feet from a passing train, the sound meter read between 90 and 102 dbls. Some trains were louder than others, and the highest reading occurred when the whistle blew. If you require any additional information, please let us know. For Skydive The Farm, Inc., t'fl4 (A:c.

M. according to the U.S.Soil Conservation Service soil survey of Weld County is as follows: Soil is the Platner loam as shown on map 25 of said soil survey and is labeled number 54. Soil is deep and well drained on slightly dissected plains and adjacent stream terraces. It formed in calcareous loamy alluvium. Typically, the surface layer is a grayish brown loam4 inches thick.The subsoil is clay, clay loam, and silty clay loam 20 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches or more is calcareous fine sandy loam and sandy loam. Permeability of the soil is slow.Available water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more.Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is slight. The hazard of soil blowing is moderate. Building site restrictions are rated as slight. Recreational Development restrictions are rated as moderate with dust being the most probable potential problem. Construction Materials ratings for roadfill are good, for sand & gravel are improbable, and for topsoil poor because of small stones. Engineering Indexfrom 0-4 inches deep AASHT0A-4 to A-6, from 4-24 inches deep AASHT0 A-7 to A-6, from 24-60 inchesdeep A- 2 to A-6. Plasticity index does not exceed 30 for the A-7 classification. This soil class is suitable for the proposed use. There is more information on this soil class but is unrelated to the proposed use.
